Robert E. Latham is a Professor in the Department of Politics at York University's Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, where he maintains an active research and teaching profile. His academic journey began with a BA from Pomona College, followed by an MA in Political Science from the University of Chicago, and culminated with a PhD from the New School for Social Research.
Dr. Latham's research spans multiple interconnected domains within political theory, with particular focus on political economy, borders and sovereignty, radical political alternatives, environmental studies, and the politics of new media. His theoretical framework draws extensively from Marxist and anarchist traditions while engaging with critical theories of conflict, transnational politics, and governance. His work consistently examines the intersections between spatial politics, democracy, political ecology, and knowledge production in contemporary society.
Over the past decade, Latham's publications have traced evolving trajectories in capitalist development, with particular attention to how neoliberalism has untethered capitalism from established conventions and regulations. His recent scholarship has examined the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for working-class consciousness, the organization of international leftist movements, and the development of strategic practices for anti-capitalist struggle in an era of geopolitical upheaval.
Dr. Latham serves as co-editor of the 'Theory and Class Struggle' section for Class, Race, and Corporate Power, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to advancing theoretical frameworks for understanding and challenging capitalist relations. His editorial work on 'Augmenting the Left' reflects his engagement with contemporary challenges facing progressive movements worldwide.
As an active faculty member who accepts new graduate students, Dr. Latham contributes significantly to political theory education at York University, mentoring the next generation of scholars while maintaining a robust research agenda that bridges theoretical innovation with practical political concerns.
